IN TRANSCENDENCE
Beyond the lazy babbling weirs
by horizontal sunbeams thrown
the pointing fingered shadows reach
towards a land of gentle mist.
Obscuring vapours twilight cast
eclipsing past presentiment
from episodes of bygone days.
Ascending high in altitudes
above the ripple-spanning waves
to echoes of their soothing sounds
all indecision drifts away.
Thoughts that kindle unsought flames
their burning embers now extinct
in ash the symbols of despair.
